for most rich people those aren't goals. the are forgone assumptions.

rich people care about going to elite expensive institutions, working for elite companies, and having designer level lifestyle in clothes, housing, and consumer goods. they love to go on about how they value 'experiences' while they drop 30K on some week long spiritual retreat in Bali, or some $10K weekend spa weekend in Palm springs.

the 100K people who feel poor feel poor because they thought they could afford a designer lifestyle. and all they are getting is a basic middle-class lifestyle
